I finally dropped my POTS a couple years ago. It was so squirrel chewed that if it rained 1/10 of an inch it was practically useless. Called Ma Bell a few times and they would come out and say they fixed it, until it rained again.
I have not had any candidates call my cell phone, but the heavy card stock mailers are getting irritating. I voted early, mostly because I’m friends with the county clerk and she has 4 challengers, but I also wanted to give Patterson my vote.

Well if you want the security without the hassle:
1. don't turn the voicemail for the landline on.
2. tun the ringer off.
That way any calls made by you will be outbound calls.

I'm not picking them up. The same campaign workers that put the signs up should be out there taking them down.
I agree that the eyesores need to be removed pronto.
